Description

Calling all music makers: artists, songwriters, producers, musicians as well as labels, music services, managers, technologists and anyone else who relates to both music and technology:

Tuesday 4th of December, Imogen Heap will be holding a Creative Passport Forum + Q&A at G LiveLab in Helsinki from 1200-1500.

What is the Creative Passport?

The Creative Passport will be a decentralised* database for all music makers - like a cross between LinkedIn and IMBD for all creatives in the music industry.

Why do we need it?

There is a lot of music all over the internet with incorrect and missing data - both about us as music makers and our work. The unverified and even inaccurate data is complicating and slowing down the process of royalty payments.

A database with our verified discography, biography, details of our recordings with who played and did what on them - as well whatever else we want to be known for - will increase visibility through searchability (cos now there is…google!) which in return will make it easier to collaborate between peers and increase work opportunities across industries (films, tv, brands…you name it!

How will it work?

Currently, in development, Imogen Heap has taken the Creative Passport with her on tour holding information workshops all around the world to get feedback from music makers on our progress so far: have we solved all problems - have we solved YOUR problems? Are there others? This is the first time a music maker rather than a technology or investment company has come up with a practical solution to a very real problem.

This is the first time a music maker -rather than a technology or investment company - has come up with a practical solution to a very real problem for the music industry. But it will only work if music makers all over the world collectively become part of this solution.

Join the discussion at the Creative Passport forum in Helsinki and help us create a healthier and thriving music industry for all.

*decentralised means it isn’t owned by anyone. Which is why Mycelia is a not for profit organisation: It is our collective data after all

As we are keen to get as many music makers as possible to both attend and to be involved, please forward this link so that they too can sign up to the change maker forum. We look forward to seeing you there!
